Agreed. I think a lot of my issues with TDKR stem from my attempts to make sense of the symbolism or analyze the movie in any meaningful way. I felt that the last movie made some interesting points about violence/evil/chaos/society, and I think I was just looking for something like that in this movie.
But in TDKR, there's not really much there. There's clearly some sort of shout out to Occupy, and also callbacks to the Soviet experiment, but... where do you go with that? Yes, communism failed? Maybe class warfare fails equally badly in an anarchy? Don't hate rich people because the .000001% will return in a fancy piece of billion dollar technology and save you? Seriously, where do you go with it? Maybe I'm missing something.
Alternatively, I should stop trying to analyze comic book movies and just enjoy the lights and dramatic music.
